The top of Ram's seat backs are level or leaning back, the tops of Caim's seats angle towards the front quite a bit. I think the only difference is in the position of the seatback and not the monitor.
Both look great by the way.

When I take it out to fix it up, I will snap some pictures of how I installed it.

Caimakale,
These are vizualogic replacement headrests (7") I thought you might want to see these as they are recessed a little more. They are also spring loaded for front to back adjustment and I am not sure if the stock ones are, i can not remember. Hope this helps.

Those things are so solid right now. Last night I was trying to take one of the monitors out to lower it a little bit and the thing is stuck in there. I know I can get it out, but it won't be easy.

hey guys
I have two monitors for my headrests now. They came with mounts to attach to the metal posts below the headrest, but after seeing the great mounting jobs yall have done Im gonna try my headrests. My questions are first will this mounting technique work on the cloth headrests and also I have the Pioneer AVH6600-DVD system which I think only has one Video out, but I need to run it to two monitors that each only have one video in, no outs. How can I do this.
